Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 BMW Z4 AND IT EXPERIENCES THE SAME 'STICKY' STEERING IN HOT TEMPERATURES THAT ARE DESCRIBED ON THIS FORUM URL HTTP://BIMMER.ROADFLY.COM/BMW/FORUMS/E85/5246978-1.HTML. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WHEN IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE, THE STEERING FEELS LIKE IT LOCKS FOR A MOMENT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. WHILE IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
